Do Right Rhymesa book review by Terri L. French

We all know how darling children can be, especially posed in their Sunday-best on Christmas cards or while peacefully sleeping. It is also true that at times they can be disgusting, mouthy, dirty, little varmints, direly in need of instruction in the social graces.

“Do Right Rhymes” by author/artist Janet Brice Parker is both an instruction book for parents and a silly book of easy to memorize rhymes for children. Like the Barney “Clean-up” song I sang to my children to get them to participate in picking up their messes, Parker's book encourages children to “do right” while having fun and without harsh scolding.

Parker was encouraged to write the book by her older son, Brice, who now has two girls of his own, ages 6 and 8. He remembered the framed rhymes his mother made for him and his younger brother, Joe, when they were children.“The girls were not flushing the toilet or washing their hands, so I wrote a rhyme, illustrated it, framed it and shipped it to Seattle,” says Parker. “Brice was so pleased with the results he encouraged me to write a book.”

The book of thirty poems not only addresses picking up one's messes, but sassing, lying, kindness to others, responsibility for belongings, personal hygiene and bodily functions, and even energy conservation. It is written in language children use and understand, not shying away from wordslike “boogers” and “poop.” The book is geared toward children ages 3 to 12, with print big and bold enough for beginning readers to handle.

Parker, an accomplished artist, also did the colorful illustrations, which resemble a children's coloring book. A CD is also available which consists of a read-along segment in which children turn pages when prompted by a croaking frog, and a sing-along musical portion.

Like Dr. Seuss and Shel Silverstein, Janet Brice Parker writes to tickle the funny bones of children and adults alike. Kids will learn important life lessons couched in loads of giggly pleasure bound to be recited over and over again.
